Montessori-Schule Rohrdorf

What Montessori-Schule Rohrdorf does

Montessori-Schule Rohrdorf is a private, state-recognized Montessori school in Rohrdorf, Bavaria, operating under the nonprofit association Montessori-Förderverein Rosenheim/Rohrdorf e.V. (registered in Traunstein, VR 41185). Founded in 1993 following the 1989 establishment of a Montessori kindergarten, the school now serves approximately 390 students across 17 classes from grade 1 through the Fachoberschule (grades 11-12), with a teaching staff of approximately 60 educators and 10 administrative/maintenance personnel, plus up to 6 Bundesfreiwilligendienst volunteers. The institution operates across five buildings on a campus in the Rohrdorf village center, including a cafeteria, library, and the Wildniscamp outdoor classroom, and is connected to a regional school bus network of approximately 80 stops across 27 municipalities operated in partnership with Fa. Lossinger since 2015.

The school delivers a continuous Montessori education from preschool transition (Monteprimo) through grade 12, with the Große Praktische Arbeit capstone project in grade 8 and a Fachoberschule established in 2006. Its digital infrastructure includes Office365 with Teams, the Stayinformed parent communication app, the Databella family work platform, the Klassengeld payment platform, the Librishare library system, the Baramundi device management system, and the FOBIZZ AI tools package, supported by ~52+ student notebooks and 40 teacher notebooks including a mobile PC room. The school holds the Umweltschule in Europa / Internationale Agenda 21-Schule certification (since 2013, renewed annually) and Schule ohne Rassismus – Schule mit Courage status (since 2023).

The revenue model is a hybrid of public and private funding: approximately two-thirds of operating costs are covered by Bavarian state per-pupil allocations and staffing subsidies, with the remaining one-third generated through parent tuition fees (€385/month for the first child, €342 for the second, €63.10 for the third and beyond), a one-time €250 admission fee and €800 investment contribution, plus auxiliary services including bus transportation (€30/month first child), cafeteria meals (€3-3.90), and material fees (€80-150/year). A solidarity hardship fund and tuition reduction program support families in financial difficulty. Tuition is indexed annually to the Bavarian consumer price index. The school has no external institutional investors and is governed by a six-member supervisory board and three-member managing board (Irina Huber-Dick, Wolfram Inngauer, Evi Spreiter as of October 2025).
